TROUBLESOME tenants have finally been evicted from a Peulwys property.

The family was removed from the Trem-y-Don house last week, to the delight of Sgt Gary Kelly, who along with North Wales Housing Authority (NWHA) has battled hard to see it happen.

“Over a number of years a family residing at Trem y Don has cumulatively been responsible for a number of criminal offences,” said Sgt Kelly.

“In addition, they have also been responsible for a large number of incidents anti-social behaviour, which resulted in a very negative impact on the wider community, who via their locally elected representatives voiced concerns with the police.

“I subsequently dispatched a team of officers to the area to gather evidence from the community, led by the local community beat manager Gwynedd Roberts, and a file of evidence was presented to North Wales Housing Authority, whose legal team brought the tenant to civil court.

“I am very pleased to say that we were successful in the application and the court ordered the tenant be evicted.

“I would like to specifically point out that we, together with NWHA and our other housing partners are absolutely resolute in addressing the inappropriate and criminal behaviour of the few who have a devastating impact upon our communities.

“I have no doubt that Llysfaen is a better place in which to now live following the eviction of this very problematic tenant.”

And NWHA chief executive Paul Diggory, added: “The Association had been involved with other agencies supporting the family in trying to address the issues, but it became clear that their behaviour was not improving and their impact on the local community and the effect the family were having on their neighbours was destructive and unacceptable.

“With the help of the local community and North Wales Police, we took possession action through the county court and succeeded in gaining possession of the property on grounds of the family’s anti-social behaviour and the serious damage and neglect of the property.”
